The Closer I Get to You Lyrics

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
Like giving me all you got
Your love has captured meOver and over again I try to tell myself
That we could never be more than friends
And all the while inside I knew it was real
The way you make me feelLying here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more
Let's give love a try
Sweeter than sweeter, love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With the hearts in love you find
True love in a special wayThe closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you got
Your love has captured meOver and over again I try to tell myself

That we could never be more than friends
And all the while inside I knew it was real
The way you make me feelThe closer I get to you
The more you'll make me see
By giving you all I got
Your love has captured me
The closer I get to you
The feeling comes over me
(Me too)
Pulling closer
Sweet is the gravity

Donny Hathaway & Roberta Flack

Roberta Flack covered a fair amount of ground in her ten years of commercial success: starting as a jazz-fusion stylist, she moved on to intricately-produced pop and even disco. You could argue that the gentle soul sound espoused by Flack, Donny Hathaway and others was R&B's answer to soft rock; you could also argue it just developed from the more contemplative work of Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding. In any case, her crystal-clear voice and classy arrangements sold a pile of records and spawned a whole school of imitators. Since the late 70s she's struggled commercially, though she was been pushed back into the spotlight by a smash cover version of her signature song, "Killing Me Softly With His Song," by the Fugees.
